1986 - Grandi magazzini (Italy),
a.k.a. Department Store [comedy].
Franco Castellano (director); with
Montesano, Nino Manfredi, Renato Pozzetto, Lino Banfi, Massimo Boldi,
Paolo Villaggio, Ornella Muti (paying herself), Michele Placido,
Christian De Sica, and Serena Grandi.
This Italian department store comedy is a
series of skits involving customers and store personnel from several
departments. In one skit, Elena (Antonelli) and her husband the
personnel director, are certain that an inept salesman in the bathroom
fixtures department is actually the son of the store's owner. They
launch into a campaign to woo him over without bothering to check up on
his credentials. In another skit, the famous Italian actress Ornella
Muti, playing herself, walks into one of the men's departments and sends
a salesclerk into near heart failure. (Eleanor Mannikka)
***
Siamo ai Grandi Magazzini. La gente va e
viene. Uno ha vinto mezzo milione in buoni acquisto, altri rubano, uno
perde le lenti a contatto... Vera e propria passerella per i "soliti
noti". Una serie di sketch che si snoda con poche idee. La copia-carbone
Castellano & Pipolo ? qui molto stinta.
